Search methodologies used to identify potentially
high
impact literature |
This Year in Review was assembled using
different approaches for different sections:
1. A PubMed literature search for randomized controlled trials of
informatics interventions of Clinical trials that included > 100
patients or
providers, and those which appear to have the potential for significant
clinical impact, published in the interval between November 2012 and
October 2013.
Clinical
informatics
searching methods:
- Primary PubMed search string: randomized controlled
trial[ptyp] AND (telemedicine[mh] OR informatics[tiab] OR medical
informatics[mh] OR internet[ti] OR mobile[ti])
- Secondary PubMed search string: randomized[ti] AND
(telemedicine[mh] OR informatics[tiab] OR medical informatics[mh])
2. For
notable Computational
biology and bioinformatics:
- Primary PubMed search string: computational biology[mh] NOT
(review[pt] OR letter[pt] OR case reports[pt] OR editorial[pt])
- Also (genomic[ti] OR genome[ti] OR bioinformatic*[ti]),
limited to the core clinical journals.
- Secondary PubMed search string: computational biology[mh]
AND (letter[pt] OR editorial[pt])
- To see which articles were generating more discussion,
follow-up with consideration of key science blogs and news sites
3. Editors Choice publications were the result of an invitation to
informatics journals via their editorial board or editor members, by a
communication to the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI)
discussion list.
4. People's Choice publications and Top Ten Events list were the result
of an invitation sent to the ACMI discussion list that requested
nominations of
any publication of any type that did not represent one's own
publications, for the period November 2012 to October 2013, as well as
notable milestones and events of interest. People's choice
publications are marked with asterisks within each topic section.
